San Francisco, CA — In November 2015, the ONE Music Group announced its U.S. debut of The ONE Smart Piano and The ONE Light keyboard at select online and brick-and-mortar retailers. Recently named a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Smart Home product category by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM, The ONE Smart Piano is the first and only Apple MFi-certified smart piano that works with an app to teach users to play.
The ONE Smart Piano’s wooden body comes in two colors – Matte Black or Classic White – and is equipped with 88 hammer-weighted keys and three foot pedals. The ONE Light is a portable keyboard that offers the same features as the smart piano, but with 61 backlit keys and the option to be battery powered.
Available in two colors – Onyx Black and White Gold – The ONE Light is ideal for the mobile musician or people who don’t want to invest in a full-sized piano. Created for people of all ages and levels, The ONE Smart Piano and The ONE Light connect with the Smart Piano app on any smartphone or tablet to provide three different ways to learn: video lessons, LED-guided sheet music and piano games. With a regularly-updated collection of more than 2,000 sheet music pieces, The ONE comes with access to thousands of classical pieces for free, as well as the latest pop hits for purchase.
“The ONE Smart Piano gives hope to people who have always dreamed of learning to play,” said Sandy Diao, Head of Growth at The ONE Smart Piano. “By making our piano available offline, we are providing customers an opportunity to test it before buying. We are confident that anyone who sits in front of The ONE Smart Piano will immediately fall in love with it.”
Currently available at several piano stores across America, such as: Bananas at Large, Music Village, Cooper Piano, Haight & Ashbury Music Center, and Hilton Piano. The ONE Smart Piano and The ONE Light are also now available at SmartPiano.com, GuitarCenter.com and through Amazon.com. With the purchase of The ONE Smart Piano, Amazon Prime members will be able to utilize free two-day shipping and customer support. Shipping and returns will be dependent on each retailer’s individual policies.
Diao adds, “Retailers are finding that The ONE is not just an instrument, but part of the Smart Home ecosystem, an educational toy, furniture for a traditional home, a tool for music students and teachers, and a home entertainment system.”
In January 2016, The ONE Music Group officially announced a partnership with Lang Lang, world-renowned concert pianist and first-ever Ambassador to Versailles. The first-ever Grammy® nominated Chinese artist in the Best Instrumental Soloist category, Lang Lang has performed for numerous international dignitaries and at several prestigious events, including the 2014 World Cup concert in Rio, the 56th and 57th Grammy Awards, and the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In addition to this incredible partnership, Lang Lang has become the newest investor in The ONE Smart Piano to help bring a new way to learn the piano to the United States.
The ONE Smart Piano was on display at CES 2016 from Jan. 6-9, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The ONE was at the 2016 NAMM Show, which will ran from January 21-24, 2016, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
